Warm Potato Salad with Fresh Herbs & Bacon

Here’s an easy, yet flavorful recipe for potato salad. It’s not your typical mayo-based deal, but I can’t exactly say it saves on calories because I’ve added some smokey bacon to give it extra flavor. But the true stars of this dish are the dill and basil, giving the potatoes that yummy freshness! Aside from that, I can’t help but think of spring and mucking about in my herb garden when I eat it and I just know warmer temperatures are just around the corner. This recipe goes great with my chicken recipe and it makes enough for 6 people. Perfect for any picnic! Try it and enjoy!

You will need..

1/4 C chopped fresh basil

1/4 C chopped fresh dill

1/4 tsp fresh cracked pepper

1 1/2 cloves chopped garlic

1/3 C white wine vinegar

3 Tbsp honey

1/3 C+ 3 Tbsp olive oil

5 strips smokey bacon
